Chapter 227: Howling Wind and Strong Wind

Chapter 227: Howling Wind and Strong Wind "I was wondering why you flew the kite to me." Lin Jue looked up at the sky helplessly, "It turns out there is no wind." Then he waved his sleeves, calling in the fresh breeze. The kite had flown very high, and just as it was about to fall, it suddenly perked up and flew straight up with the wind. The junior sister sat cross-legged on the spot, her back straight, her head raised to stare at the sky, as if she didn't hear what he said. "You're still plotting against my brother." The junior sister still sat still, watching attentively. At this moment, there was only one thought in my mind - Brother, this skill of calling the wind can probably be considered advanced and close to perfection, right? With a wave of his sleeves, the air was filled with fresh breeze. If you tell others about it, they might even think it was the work of a god.

"Junior sister, how is your skill of calling the wind going?" Lin Jue held the string stick and asked without trying to control the kite. "It's not as good as what senior brother did." The younger sister could hear it again and answered honestly. "Junior sister is good at swordsmanship, which requires close combat. I know a spell related to calling the wind, which is suitable for use with swordsmanship. Junior sister, are you willing to learn it?" "What spell?" "It's called Gangqi, also called Gangfeng." "Ok?" The junior sister couldn't help but frown. Why did the senior brother, who had obviously learned so many spells and learned them so well, come up with a new spell every once in a while? Doesn't he sleep? Or is it that whenever I am not looking, my senior brother is practicing magic? But when I glanced at my brother—— He was seen holding the stick in one hand and stretching out the other with his palms open to feel the fresh breeze from the mountain. He looked relaxed and at ease, as if he was free and unrestrained. It didn't seem like that. "What are you talking about?" "Oh!" The little sister was startled, afraid that her brother would see through her inner thoughts, and asked hurriedly, "What is the strong wind?" "Gang, pronounced as Gang, means strong and fierce. It is a swift and fierce wind. The wind that the old turtle swung with his stick a few months ago, which could injure or kill people, or even knock them back and fly away, was a Gang wind." Lin Jue explained to her: "If a Taoist learns to fan the wind with his hands or sleeves, it is also called sleeve wind. If a warrior is good at killing and fighting, although he has no magic power and does not know magic, he has reached the pinnacle of martial arts and has a sense of heaven and Tao, so he can also feel the strong wind on his own. The difference from sleeve wind is that warriors use swords to create strong wind, and warriors have a strong killing intent, and the sword tendons and swords are sharp, so the strong wind under the swords is also very sharp, which can cut people's flesh and blood, and even split people in two, so it is also called sword and sword energy." The junior sister listened carefully. After thinking about it for a while, it is indeed suitable for me. Maybe if I learn this and practice hard, I can get one step closer to my senior brother in fighting skills? The junior sister couldn't help but think so. She has always been a studious person. Going out for an outing is already a happy thing. Being able to fly a kite and learn such magic is also a pleasant surprise, isn't it? So he quickly sat up straight.

Even Luo Seng, who was standing next to him, heard it and turned his head to pay attention. "This spell is based on wind. Junior sister is good at calling the wind, so it is easy to learn. Junior sister is also good at swordsmanship. Maybe one day she can cultivate the sword energy like a warrior. But I am not good at this, so it will be difficult." Lin Jue didn't care about being heard by Luo Seng, and he even wanted him to hear it. After getting along for a long time, I have already known his character. I also know that Luo Seng's martial arts have reached the pinnacle, and with his strong blood, he has cultivated a precious sword by slaying demons and ghosts. When he swings the sword, there is already a faint aura, but it has not yet taken shape. I don't know how much the aura of a warrior and the aura of magic have in common. If I can give him some inspiration, it would be a good thing. But not today, not at this moment. Just as the junior sister sat up straight, with a serious face, concentrating, and putting her whole body and soul into listening to the senior brother's teaching of magic, he changed the subject: "But then again, we are here for an outing today. We should be relaxing and having fun. How can we talk about these things? I'll tell you when we get back!" "?" The junior sister was stunned. Before I knew it, my brows were already furrowed. However, Lin Jue was already concentrating on flying the kite. While she was itching to get going, Lin Jue was feeling the comfort of the moment and at the same time missing Fuqiu Peak. Except for the time last year when the master passed away, in previous spring days they had all been enjoying the spring on Fuqiu Peak, drinking wine under the flowers, and sleeping under the flowers. If you think about it carefully, wasn’t that a fairy-like life? At that time, I just felt it was beautiful. Now that I have come down the mountain and think back, I feel that I may never be able to go back. "Ugh……" Lin Jue couldn't help but sigh. Junior sister was still looking at him and sighing. We played for half a day and then went down the mountain when the sun was setting. I walked back slowly, it was almost evening. "what?" As soon as I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I saw a lot of things placed outside the wooden door. When I got closer, I saw that they were all gifts. There were some persimmons, dried dates, candied fruits, some cured meat and ham, eggs and roosters, some gold, silver and jade articles, vases, calligraphy and paintings, and in addition to these, there was even a bowl of sacrificial meat. "This is……" Lin Jue and his junior sister were both confused. Luo Seng looked around and said quickly, "I'm afraid that your exorcism has been known to others, and some people are coming here to look for the gods and masters." "Which one?" Lin Jue frowned, "The Green Narcissus or the roadside monster?" "I don't know! I hope it's not the Green Narcissus!"

Luo Seng also frowned. The reason why they had gotten rid of the Green Narcissus before without explaining to the local people and without even showing up was not only because they believed that the people would be able to judge for themselves from the aftermath that the Green Narcissus was a monster, but also because the matter was not over yet and it was inconvenient for people to know that they were the ones who got rid of the Green Narcissus. This will affect their ability to deal with the Alligator King. "Did you tell the monster on the roadside where you live?" asked Luo Seng. "He did." "That might be what the monster said. I heard that he went to return the property and ask for forgiveness every night these days. Maybe if someone asked him about it, he would not hide it." Luo Seng said calmly, "But it's hard to say about the waiter at the inn. Although he is smart, I saw him drinking the leftover wine on the table from the guests several times when I went to the inn to buy braised meat. He often drank until his face was red. I'm afraid he can't keep this secret forever." "Um……" there is always a solution to a problem. At this moment, the fox turned his head and looked outside. Lin Jue also looked outside. There was a shadow moving outside. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, a tall, skinny figure walked over. He was already scared when he saw them, and even more scared when he saw a ferocious warrior next to him. He quickly saluted: "I've seen a real person." "No need to be polite." "Master! I have returned all the money and offerings!" "Have you told anyone where I live?" "I did." The monster said weakly, "What's wrong?" "..." Lin Jue and Junior Sister Luo Seng looked at each other, and breathed a sigh of relief. Then they sighed, "You are disturbing my meditation..." "Ah? There is no other way. I felt guilty and wanted to ask for their forgiveness when returning the property. When someone asked me what happened, I had to answer them so that they wouldn't think I was lying." "That's all. It doesn't matter." "That……" The monster looked at him weakly: "I wonder if you, Master, could you please ask the fox fairy under your seat to remove the death talisman on my foot?" "Ha ha……" Lin Jue laughed when he heard it: "How can this be a death warrant? It's just a claw mark that can find you." Meanwhile, the fox stepped forward. Blow a breath and the mark will disappear. "I promised you before that if you return all your property, I will give you something as a birthday gift for the Alligator King." Lin Jue said this and took out a bottle. There are three small Yuandan pills in the bottle. Don't underestimate this small Yuandan. Each pill is the essence of spiritual liquid extracted from natural treasures, and then condensed into a pill with the addition of silver. Not only is each pill a bottle of spiritual liquid, but it also contains silver. It is more complicated than the spiritual liquid, and the effect is naturally better than the spiritual liquid.

As soon as the monster took it, he took a deep breath. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of spiritual plants emanating from it moved him, and he felt so comfortable that he couldn't help but tremble all over. "This……" The monster looked at Lin Jue. "Don't be surprised. I heard that the Alligator King has been obsessed with alchemy recently. If you give this pill to him, he will definitely take it seriously and invite you to his cave for a feast. You may even be rewarded or given an important position." Lin Jue said, "If he asks where you got it from, tell him that we two brothers and sisters gave it to you. We will also go to the feast and present him with an even more amazing pill. But don't tell him that we met because you were causing trouble on the roadside. Just say that we met by chance on the roadside and you asked us for it." "Thank you, Masato!" The monster was immediately grateful. "By the way, you need to tell the people you have extorted that I live here and not to spread the news to others, and not to disturb my quiet cultivation." "Follow the law." "Go." Lin Jue waved his hand and let him leave. "It seems that what he said is true." Luo Seng also breathed a sigh of relief, picked up all the things outside the door and put them into the house, "Don't worry, if someone comes to visit you again in the future, I will find a reason to send them away casually." "Thank you, Mr. Luo." "What are you going to do with these things?" "The gold belongs to Mr. Luo, and the silver belongs to us. We will eat together and leave the ornaments in the house. We will leave them to the innkeeper later." "What do I want? I'll change it into silver for you." "Alright." It’s just right to save some food for the silver-eating ghost. In addition to the silver-eating ghost getting food, the others also took the piece of sacrificial meat to cut it, picked garlic sprouts from the yard, and stir-fried some pork, which they had as dinner. next morning. The morning mist covered the earth. After breakfast, the three of them gathered around the stove in the yard to make tea. The morning was quiet and the fog was motionless. There is only a breeze in the courtyard. Lin Jue explained the Dao of Gangfeng to them: “Calling the wind is a way of communicating with the heaven and earth, and is a manifestation of divine thoughts and magic. The mystery of it lies mostly in the mind. "Gang Feng is similar, but it needs to have more fierceness and sharpness in the mind, and more restraint in the magic. “Compared to the wind of calling wind, calling wind is softer, and Gang wind is stronger. Calling wind is broad, and Gang wind is narrow. Calling wind is weaker, and Gang wind is stronger. "Junior sister, you have already learned how to call the wind. You just need to practice binding the wind. You can bind the wide wind into a narrow wind, and bind the soft wind into a strong wind. The deeper your attainments, the narrower the strong wind will be, and the stronger its power will be, and it will travel far without dispersing.

"But you need to remember that compared to the relaxation and emptiness when you feel the 'exhaling wind', you need to be more fierce when you feel the strong wind. "..." The junior sister listened very carefully. Luo Seng also often looked thoughtful. It seemed that both of them had realized something. (End of this chapter)
